Taking the Shot COMPOSITION

Now, all of a sudden, as we look at the photo from a rule of thirds perspective, things seem to be perfect. The subject is right in the middle third, with all four of the intersecting points “squaring” the crab and the upper and lower thirds left open for the brilliant lava texture.

Rules are always meant to be broken. However, there are tricks and tips that one should always consider, so that when you do at least break the rules, you know how and why you’re doing so.

Ultimately, designing and composing a better photo is to make you, the one taking the photo, happier. Through these simple techniques in composition, you will no doubt be more pleased with your own photography and most likely those you are showing your photos to will become even greater fans of the stories your photos tell.
